I used this to minimize pores and without any tint in the product, it did not work like I wanted it to as I didn't want to put a lot of makeup over it. This may work better for younger skin where the pores are not quite as obvious. I wouldn't buy it again.

I don't use foundation so I don't know how it sits on foundation. I apply the stick to my t-zone, to my forehead, cheeks, and chin and blend with a brush. It's great! It lasts all day, I don't find myself having to reapply it and it doesn't clog my pores.

My only two complaints are that it does go so fast and that the packaging sort of breaks off onto the stick after a while of use, so you'll find these silver glittery specks all over your face. Other than that, works perfectly.

I've tried many mattifying products and primers, and this is the only one I have found that works longer than a few hours. I put it on first, before primer or foundation and it keeps my nose matte all day long. You have to be a bit careful putting liquid foundation over this, as it sits differently on this product than it does on regular skin. I have to gently pat it on over my nose where I've applied this. When I use a powder foundation, it isn't an issue. I'm so glad I saw this little tube and decided to try it.
